How do I restrict a float value to only two places after the decimal point in C?

Question

How can I round a float value (such as 37.777779) to two decimal places (37.78) in C?

Answer 1

double f_round(double dval, int n)
{
    char l_fmtp[32], l_buf[64];
    char *p_str;
    sprintf (l_fmtp, "%%.%df", n);
    if (dval>=0)
            sprintf (l_buf, l_fmtp, dval);
    else
            sprintf (l_buf, l_fmtp, dval);
    return ((double)strtod(l_buf, &p_str));

}

Here n is the number of decimals

example:

double d = 100.23456;

printf("%f", f_round(d, 4));// result: 100.2346

printf("%f", f_round(d, 2));// result: 100.23
